The Washington Wizards announced Thursday that forward/center Anthony Davis (hand) will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 32-year-old big man is recovering from ligament damage in his left hand. Davis has been cleared for limited individual on-court activities, but the Wizards are expected to remain cautious and avoid rushing him back into game action. In the meantime, Anthony Gill (illness) and Julian Reese should continue to see increased frontcourt minutes with Alexandre Sarr (hamstring) and Tristan Vukcevic (thigh) also sidelined.

Washington Wizards forward/center Anthony Davis (hand) is expected to sit out the rest of the 2025-26 season after being acquired in a deadline deal, with the organization prioritizing a full recovery. Davis has not played since Jan. 8 and will not rush back as Washington looks ahead to next year. For fantasy managers, the impact lands in Dallas, where Daniel Gafford steps into a heavier workload. Gafford has logged 14.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks over his last three starts, making him a strong hold with top-60 upside. Marvin Bagley III is a deeper-league watch for scoring and boards, while P.J. Washington gains frontcourt stability.

Five-time All-Pro forward Anthony Davis is being traded to the Washington Wizards, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal comes just over a year after he was sent to the Mavericks as part of the Luka Doncic trade. The Wizards will also acquire guards Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell, and Dante Exum. The Mavericks, in return, will get Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round picks, and three second-round selections. Davis (hand) is still without a clear timetable for return, although he will reportedly be reevaluated six weeks from January 13th. Once cleared, he'll presumably start next to Alex Sarr in the frontcourt and catch lobs from ... [More]

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (hand) will not require surgery on his injured left hand, the team announced on Tuesday. He is expected to "heal from the injury" in approximately six weeks. Davis was previously expected to undergo surgery, which would have sidelined him for "several months." Still, it's possible Davis has played his final game as a Maverick, with trade rumors surrounding him. With Davis out, Daniel Gafford will continue to start at center, though he has also faced health issues in 2025-26. Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell round out the remaining center options for Dallas.

Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis (hand) will likely have surgery on his left hand to repair ligament damage, sidelining him for several months. Davis originally suffered the injury in last Thursday's loss to the Utah Jazz. With the trade deadline around the corner, AD could still be traded to a playoff contender, with a potential return in the playoffs. If he stays with the Mavericks, he is not likely to return this season, since the team is not expected to be in the playoff race. Without Davis, Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell will likely fill in behind Daniel Gafford at center for the rest of the season, while Cooper Flagg will remain more the focus of the offense. Davis is not officially done for the season, but it looks like his time in Dallas is over, according to this latest report from ESPN's Shams Charania, who says multiple teams are still trying to trade for AD to be a part of their playoff run.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (hand) "could miss a number of months." AD suffered an injury to his left hand in Thursday's loss to the Utah Jazz. He is heading for a second opinion, and there's a chance he may need surgery. With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, Davis might find himself remaining with the Mavericks. However, the team could still find a trade partner, although his asking price can't get much lower. With that said, with Davis out of the picture, Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell may gain consistent minutes behind Daniel Gafford throughout the remainder of the 2025 campaign, assuming Dallas can't acquire another big.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) has not been included on the injury report for Thursday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, indicating that he will return from a two-game absence. Davis suffered a right adductor injury on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors, but fortunately, he is back to full health after missing only two games. Davis' return will push Daniel Gafford to the bench and potentially put Dwight Powell out of the rotation. The star big man faced the Sixers only a couple of weeks ago, posting a 24-point, 15-rebound double-double. However, that came without Joel Embiid (ankle) on the floor, and Philadelphia has listed him as probable for Thursday night.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) has been ruled out for Monday night's action against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 10-time All-Star attended Monday morning's shootaround, but he won't be ready to play, with the team downgrading Davis' status from questionable to out. Daniel Gafford will likely keep his spot in the starting lineup, while Dwight Powell will provide cover at the center position on Monday night. This is a good matchup for Dallas' centers, as Portland gives up the sixth-most fantasy points in the league to the position.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Portland after missing one contest since suffering the injury on Christmas Day. His availability remains fluid, but the lack of an immediate shutdown is mildly encouraging for fantasy managers. If Davis sits, Daniel Gafford might be in line for another start after posting 11 points, seven rebounds, and one block in 23 minutes, while P.J. Washington could continue handling small-ball center duties following a 17-point, five-rebound, four-block outing. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse may also see floor time, though both remain too inconsistent for reliable fantasy use.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings after exiting early on Christmas Day and logging just 11 minutes. Davis has not been ruled out, but reporting suggests he could miss additional time, keeping his short-term availability fluid. If Davis sits, P.J. Washington would likely anchor the frontcourt minutes after handling a 34-minute workload last game, while Daniel Gafford could see incremental run as his conditioning improves. Max Christie and Naji Marshall could be in line for additional floor time on the wing.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (groin) is expected to miss a few games with a groin strain, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Davis hurt himself in the first half of the Christmas Day loss to the Golden State Warriors and did not return. Davis has played in just 16 games so far this year and has not played in six consecutive games since joining the Mavericks last season. With Dereck Lively II (foot) out for the season, Daniel Gafford will soak up plenty of minutes at the center position until Davis is ready to return.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (illness) has been upgraded from probable to available and will hit the court on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Davis picked up a probable tag on the injury report after dealing with an illness earlier this week. Philadelphia has ruled out Joel Embiid (illness) for the contest, making this a more favorable matchup for Davis. The 10-time All-Star has posted back-to-back double-doubles, averaging 19.8 points and 12.3 rebounds in 30.8 minutes this month.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's encounter with the Philadelphia 76ers. The star big man has been battling an illness this week. He had 15 points and 14 rebounds while dealing with the issue on Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. It was a tough matchup for Davis against Jalen Duren, and things may not be easy for him on Saturday either if Joel Embiid (illness) suits up. The former MVP has also come down with an illness, sitting out Friday's game against the New York Knicks.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) will play on Thursday against Detroit. The 32-year-old was sidelined for nearly a month because of a calf strain. While he returned for the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on November 28, he's missed some time since then. AD has had a tough year outside of his injury woes, averaging 20.0 points, one of the lowest marks of his career. Davis will likely have his work cut out for him versus a Pistons team that have been sound defensively all year.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is listed as questionable for a matchup against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. He came through a full practice session on Wednesday and hopes to return from a one-game absence.

The Pistons will match up against Davis with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart, making it a difficult game for the Mavericks star.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Monday against the Utah Jazz. Davis was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. The star big man participated in the morning shootaround, but Davis won't be ready to play on Monday after making five consecutive appearances. Fortunately for the Mavericks, they will have Daniel Gafford (ankle) available in the middle. Gafford has missed three games while managing an ankle injury. On Monday, Gafford will share the load at center with Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse. This is a favorable matchup for Dallas' big men, as Utah gives up the seventh-most fantasy points to centers in the league.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is questionable for Monday's game in Utah due to a left calf contusion, a new issue that could prompt a cautious approach. If Dallas elects to sit Davis, Daniel Gafford's (ankle) status becomes pivotal, with P.J. Washington in line for added run as a small-ball five. Davis is coming off 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks in 33 minutes Friday, making any absence a notable category hit. Naji Marshall would gain stability, while Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse remain fringe streamers.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) will likely return to the lineup on Monday against the Denver Nuggets, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. After coming back from a calf injury on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, Davis skipped the second leg on a back-to-back on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. In his return, Davis had 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 28 minutes. Dwight Powelltook Davis' starting spot on Saturday and will drop back to the bench on Monday.

AD returned for Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Lakers after missing a month because of a calf injury. As expected, he wasn't as productive as usual, finishing with 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 28 minutes. Fantasy participants should anticipate Davis to return for Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets, assuming he didn't suffer a setback on Friday night. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined, Moussa Cisse might work his way into the starting lineup. However, the 23-year-old has a significantly higher ceiling than normal even if he doesn't start, giving him credibility as a streaming option for fantasy managers in Saturday's game against one of the worst defensive squads in the National Basketball Association.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is available for Friday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. AD hasn't played in a month after suffering a left calf strain during the win over the Indiana Pacers on October 29. Before going down, he was averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.6 steals. While there may be some rust in the equation, Davis can be plugged back into all fantasy lineups, even with a reduced workload of 24-to-27 minutes versus his former club.
